FAITH A PRACTICAL NECESSITY.
While faith In the future benefits of
Investments Is a necessity In tbe rasa
of manufacturer and of tbe merchant
who must advertise before he will real
ize an Increase In sales. It Is especially
true of the stork rattier and tiller of
the soil. The former must of necessity
forecast the future and have faith that
money Invested In high priced and val
uable sire will come back to him In
tbe shape of Increased prices for tbe
stock be hi sble to produce, wblle tbe
Istter must entertain a like faith In In
creased yields when be plants or sows
thoroughbred snd tested grams. The
Initial cost and outlay In both In fact,
all four Instances may seem large,
but In tbe long view It Is not so, when
subsequent gains covering a period of
months or yesrs are tuken Into account
Many folks make a virtual failure of
life In a material way, or at least plod
along on a very low level of achieve
ment, simply because this matter of
Initial expense or tbe first Investment
looms so large In their eyes that It
obscures tbe view of anything beyond.
CLOVER ALONE NO PANACEA.
An Important fsct that Is being giv
en emphasis by Professor Cyril G. Hop
kins of tbe Illinois agricultural experi
ment station Is that tbe employment
of clover In a crop rotation with
corn and oats, while keeping up the
supply of nltrogsn In tbe soil through
tbe service which tba legume renders,
will result In robbing tbe soil of phos
phorus unless stock raising or dairying
Is followed and tbe major portion of
the fertilising elements In tbe grain
and grasses fed returned to tbe soil In
tbe shape of fertilisers. It will be
well for those who have looked upon
the growing of clover ss a sort of
panacea to cure tbe wrongs Inflicted
by a aoll robbing system of agrlrul
ture to remember tbst thla la only a
partial remedy and niuat be coupled
with atork raising or dairying If tha
cure of tbe aoll la to be complete.
TOO STIFF A COMBINATION.
Recently there came to our notice
another caae of where an unauspectlng
land aeeker ran afoul of the combina
tion of "leek land agent, aided and
abetted by the enticing wlilaky bottle.
The average land buyer of Intelligence
04ul bsckbone has shout sll he ran at
tend to to bold his own when he Is
bealegrd by the persistent land agent,
but when In addition to lilin the buy
er's wits are tx-fiKltlled by whisky,
furnished by a disinterested (?) third
party, the comblnutloii la entirely too
stiff, snd he might as well throw up
the sponge. If there Is ever a time
when a follow needs a clenr head snd
all bis wits about him It Is when be Is
In the company of one of these un
scrupulous land agents, who have the
capacity to make black seem white,
went east and up down.
HAS MUCH TO COMMEND IT.
If tbe corn field Is properly fenced
slid proer rroaa fences cau be erected
the practice of Hogging down corn al
ready followed by aouie hna much to
commend It In hsalltlca where hog
raising Is an Important Item nnd where
help Ih si'srcc and priced. While
It might lie termed by some s Inry
man's method, it ha ticen found as a
result of feeding experiment that
hogs fattened under corn Held condi
tions innke n much more rapid gnlu
on a given amount of feed than If the
sine 1 given tlieiu In the regular feed
lot An added advsutiige where the
number of boss fed Is lame I the
fertlllter which bus been left on the
ground by the time the cum Is con
nmcd
Those who took the pains to sow
rnpe hi their cornfields early In July
now have a nice supply of succulent
grwen feed which will tie relished by
their stock well Into the winter. Tbe
sheep should not tie allowed the mu
of the rape field when the plants are
wet from rnln or dew.
Many an old or-hnrd which has
eoine Into a rundown and unprofitable
condition through neglect may tie con
siderably rejuvenated and out on a
paying basis by breaking np t;e sod sud
by a course of wvstematlc pruning aud
spraying operations, with the applica
tion of sufflclent fertllliers to eousllse
a depleted soil condition.
There Is little nucstlon thst If the
person w ho is occupied In Indoor sed
entary pursuits devotes on hour to vtc-
onma outdoor exeniso he cau get more
work out of the way In the remaining
worktns hour than If he xtioiiM snemt
the entire erlid In tits tasks and take
no recreation. While the truth of thl
statement I generally recognised. It Is i
i all too niauy casts Ignored. '

Often a large per cent of the beat
value of fuel particularly soft coal
Is not realized because so much coal
Is put on the Are that proper combus
tion of tbe fuel and consumption of the
soot and guses does not take place.
Tbe addition of much smaller amounts
of fuel at somewhat more frequent In
tervals will tend to correct tbe diffi
culty, resulting lu a maximum beat
value from tbe fuel consumed.
Cement floors for stables and feed
sheds and where possible feed yarJs
have two Important points In their
favor they sre much more easily
cleaned aud tbe manure which accu
mulates docs not lose any considera
ble pnrt of Its fertilizing value though
leeching, which Is tbe case In the av
erage bnrn and feed lot. The Initial
expense of tbe cement Improvements
referred to Is considerable, but In a
period of yers Ibey would be more
than paid for in the suvli.g made pos
sible In the handling of tlie manures.
The Judicious use of a telephone In
tbe mere matter of keeping oneself
posted as to the prices of stock and
produce will frequently In the course
of a month or less psy for the cost of
the telephone service for the year.
Meshles this, there Is the saving of
time In the matter of sending word to
nelghlHirs when extra help Is needed,
while In tbe case of fire or sickness
the benefit can hardly be estimated.
In the larger social aspect the presence
of a phone In the home does much to
lessen the monotony and lonesomeness
which might otherwise exist.
While the benefits to be derived
from tbe growing of clover are quite
generally recognized, It Is worth while
now and then to express this benefit In
a definite form. In a recent experi
ment conducted by the Michigan agri
cultural station It was found that when
oats were sown following mixed
grases without clover the yield was
thirty-six bushels per acre, while fol
lowing grasses sown with clover they
rave n yield of forty-six bushels. In a
like experiment with barley substi
tuted for onts the yields were respec
tively thirty-eight and forty-nine bush
els per acre. A similar experiment
conducted by the Alnbsma station
showed thnt following cow peas the
yield of (M-tton was Incrsssed OOfl
pounds per acre.
Bonie of tbe orenteslous promoters of
a beet surnr factory which has Istely
been erected In northern lows have
hid articles published to the effect that
tbe rrowlng of leet eurlched rntlier
than Impoverished the land. It would
tn a matter for rou-.-rntulatlon If this
stntement w ere only true, but the fact
of the matter ts It In not. It is true
that beets do not pull on the fertility
of the soil quite ss heavily as do
onions, wheat or onts. tills being due to
the fnct thnt. like com. tltey draw their
sugar content largely from the air and
sunshine. Hut to assert that they en
rich the so!!, as do clovers, Is entirely
erroneous and In the end will be of no
ail aiitace to the lieet raising Industry.
A man not posted might be Induced to
grow beets because of the above claim,
but his own experience with them
would In a very short time disprove the
claim.

There la only one way to cure deaf

Qusttions and Answers Which Grangs

No meeting of tbe grange can be
conducted correctly without aome
knowledge of parliamentary rules, and

mentary questions that arise without
baring to take tbe trouble to look them
op for themselves State Lecturer Low
